Hello, it is your favourite chief judge back with another good suggestion.
Those of you who are active in the court discord have noticed that there is a new way to file plea deals. These deals are saved with a simple command to a database alongside court orders and filings. This means that any time someone is charged and convicted (via plea deal or a court order) we can know exactly how many years that person has served in prison.
Now, this means that we can make the 45 year PK timer incremental and not all at once. E.G: Pendred was caught for possession of narcotics and accepted a plea deal for 5 years. His remaining PK timer would be 40 years, so if he was convicted or accepts a plea deal for 40 years he will be PK'd as 5+40 = 45.
Advantages:
- Makes jail time a lot more meaningful than a simple "Will I become a felon, get PK'd or just waste time?"
- Makes plea deals more impactful. As of yet, there is no difference between a 40 year and a 10 year plea deal if I become a felon anyway, I'd just be wasting 30 minutes of my time watching Youtube.
Disadvantages:
- Makes criminals easier to PK. This is an advantage for LEOs and a disadvantage for the rest.
Thoughts?
